Oxfam 100km trailwalker, Brisbane, Australia

April 7, 2013

Friend Jenny is now in serious training for this 100km team trail walk in June.

It works like this… You are part of a team of 4, and you find a sponser. You all raise money for Oxfam prior to the race and spend plenty of practice time to get your body in shape and tuned up to spend all day, all night and most of the next day seriously walking. The trail goes through Queensland forestry paths out the back of Mt Cootha, Brisbane. There are various terrains, path widths and gradients. 3 of your team of 4 must finish together. You organise your time to stop for food along the way but you dont want to stop too long or you start to freeze up. It is winter time, the days can be ok but it can be quite cold at night.

It is said to be one of the most difficult of all the Australian Oxfam trail walks. You have to be fit.
